Vine Arts Center is a non-profit, member-run organization supporting emerging and established artists, partnering with the community, and providing space and support for visiting shows and events.

The Vine Arts Center is dedicated in memory of Howard Gelb
The Vine Arts Center is dedicated in memory of Howard Gelb without whose generosity and support the Vine Arts Center would not exist. He transformed the Flour City Ornamental Iron Works Building into the Ivy Building for the Arts and made this space available for the Vine Arts Center. Mrs Gelb and her daughter, Joyce Leibman joined us at the dedication of The Vine Arts Center.

Lynn Bainer
Originally from the Chicago area, I am a mixed media artist focusing on the dense collage aspects. As a relative newcomer, I wanted to get involved in the art community and found Vine Arts to be welcoming.
